Left-over quilt blocks? No problem

 The recent tulip bag I made and posted, Flower Power on September 17, has morphed into another bag from left-over blocks from my log cabin quilt which was posted on April 22, 2022,  It makes my brown eyes blue - log cabin.

As suggested from Nancy, owner and teacher from OOOO La La Quilt Shop, in Frederic, Michigan, I used my left-over quilt blocks from a recent log cabin.  This bag came out stunning.  And what a great idea to use up what you already spent time to construct.  By just adding a couple more strips of blue around the bottom of the log cabin block this tulip pattern fit perfect to be trimmed into shape.  What a great idea!























I have a few other extra quilt blocks that I think I'd like to make into a tote/bag.  I'll have to search through my stash.  Let's see what I come up with.

It's fun sewing with different people.  Everyone has different tastes and ideas and who knows when you'll get inspired in a different direction.  Thanks Nancy for inspiring this bag.  Hopefully I inspire new ideas too.

The weather has cooled down and the trees are changing colors.  It's a beautiful fall season.  It's time to head up to my studio and pick up on my projects.  I'm refreshed and ready to go.  See you real soon.
